In human culture
The genus name Antipodophlebia is derived from the Greek ἀντίποδες (antipodes, "those on the opposite side of the world"), referring to its southern locality, combined with φλέψ (phleps, "vein") and the suffix -ia, indicating association with related genera such as Telephlebia and Austrophlebia. The species name asthenes is derived from the Greek ἀσθενής (asthenēs, "weak" or "feeble"), referring to its small size, open wing venation, and subdued colouration.
